Old photo, as the old Safeway and crackhouses (see notes) can attest.
Ooh, rich people can live in former crack houses next to porn shops? How glamourous!
There used to be a nudie bar just west (i.e. to the left) of the area photographed, but they closed it down and replaced it with...a liquor store.
Looks like Matt had the idea to annotate his (old) neighbourhood before I did. Another case of great minds think simultaneously I guess.
